Note that the "might walk it back" thing hasn't come out of Trump, but out of one of his stooges. So more than likely it was either an attempt to pump the stock market back up (so some people can make more coin on trades), or a way to float a trial balloon to gauge reactions from Trump's base etc. Or both.
